What is the Solution Design Summit?
New for OLC Innovate 2016, the Solution Design Summit (SDS) is a submission-based team challenge. Small teams submitted a challenge from their respective organization and/or institution that requires a creative, multi-disciplinary approach. Teams receive feedback on their SDS proposal, are invited to join the SDS workshop session at the start of the conference to network with peers and solicit feedback from experts, will be provided an opportunity to “pitch” (i.e. 10 minute presentation) their ideas during the #OLCInnovate conference where participants can ask questions or give feedback, and share with the OLC community after Innovate 2016 concludes.
Winning SDS team members will receive:
- A one-year OLC Professional Membership (limited to a maximum of 5 team members). Current OLC members would receive a 1-year extension to their existing OLC Professional Membership.
- A complimentary future OLC 2016 or 2017 conference registration (limited to a maximum of 5 team members, not applicable to OLC Innovate 2016).
- The OLC Team will engage the winning team in a conversation of how best to showcase their solution through OLC. Examples may include a webinar, membership dashboard interaction, OLC social media promotion, etc.
The goal of the Solution Design Summit is to:
- Encourage creative, design thinking for challenges we face in learning
- Foster dialogue among learners, educators, administrators, researchers, designers, and ed tech companies
- Promote a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach towards the development of solutions for learning challenges
